NEW YORK -- In a bid to capture savvy travelers and save on commissions, airlines are increasingly selling tickets online, taking some business away from Internet travel agencies.

Internet travel research concern PhoCusWright Inc. (www.PhoCusWright.com ) said in a study released Monday that the nation's 10 major airlines will generate $8.7 billion in revenue from selling tickets on the Internet in 2000, up 85% from 1999.
